    I don't quite see how you can insert a textbox, considering that none of
    your code actually runs until the button is clicked. Well, I guess if
    you also install a BHO, you can use techniques shown in the article to
    manipulate the toolbar using Win32 API. Make the button wider, position
    an edit control on top of it, subclass the toolbar to handle
    notifications from the edit box.
